  1. theconversation.com/climate-ch. Do we want #England to be a "green & pleasant land" - the one William #Blake wrote about? Or are we going to allow it to turn into a parched #desert? It's become a parched desert, thanks to #Climatechange, & far too much of it has been concreted over!

  2. Woo hoo!!! "Last Chance Gas" tied for third place in the 8/18/2026 #FineArtAmerica contest Proof Of Global Warming held by the Masterpiece Gallery Group. Many thanks to contest administrator, Debora Lewis and to everyone who voted for my image. Congratulations to the other winners!

    I usually avoid hikes in the heat, but younger me wasn't so wise.

    In 2011 I went up Mt Yishay from Ein Gedi on the Dead Sea. We walked it in reverse, so we only saw the sign when coming down. It was exceptionally hot, even for the region, and there was no water, no shrub and no tree for most of the hike. I had to hide in the shade of a rock crevice for 20min to not pass out 🙈

    Also one of my only hikes from negative elevation (-380m → +160m and back).

    A girl from the Netherlands who we met on the way insisted on joining us, although she was just wearing a bikini and flip-flops. I thought it was a little stupid, but in the end she did a lot better than me. Another lesson learned 😅

  4. The #Zekreet #Peninsula in #Qatar is known for its erosional #landforms . A tour brings you to the mushroom rocks and even an arch, #Camel #Racetracks, Richard Serra's East-West/West-East #sculpture in the #desert and to a #beach . backpackandsnorkel.com/Qatar/D
